Brief Miscellaneous Q & A Relating to Fasting (10/22)
Question
In what way is a Kaffara fulfilled?
Answer
A Kaffara may be given in the following two ways: 1) Fasting for two months consecutively without missing a single fast, 2) Feeding sixty poor people. It should be remembered that if one has the ability to fast then one cannot adopt the second method; rather, one will have to fast for sixty days continuously.
Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
